I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, having earned my doctorate at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Yeshiva University. I did my internship at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families in at-risk populations. I completed a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship at the William Alanson White Institute focusing on interpersonal/relational psychotherapy, as well as recently completing a 2-year program at the White Institute focused on treating eating disorders, compulsions, and addictions.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process to help individuals gain a fresh perspective on their lives, recognize repeating patterns in their behaviors and relationships, and find new solutions for old problems. My approach is psychodynamic and eclectic, balancing both depth and real-world focus to address the unique needs of each patient at the intersection of their physical, mental, internal, external, interpersonal, and sociopolitical spheres of experience. I have a particular passion working with individuals who find themselves outside of the narrow band of supposedly “normal” identity and desire, including people who are “kinky”/involved in BDSM, polyamorous, in open relationships, queer, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and/or trans* (transitioning or not transitioning). I endeavor to use my concentrated graduate study and clinical experience in these areas to provide a warm, open, and supportive space to facilitate exploration and growth.
